 [Harvard Graduate Society Merit/Term-Time Fellowships](https://gsas.harvard.edu/financial-support/list-fellowships/merit) allow outstanding Harvard GSAS students to focus their time on research, fieldwork, and writing. Applicants must have passed their General Exam and have an approved dissertation prospectus at the time of nomination, or no later than the beginning of the semester when the award is taken. This award is extremely competitive and requires departmental nomination. Typically 21% of the applicant pool receive Merit/Term-Time Fellowships. Students are allowed to apply in only one category of Graduate Society Fellowships in any given year. Recipients may only hold this award a single time. Students are not eligible for a Merit if they are receiving a full year of support from another source. During the award term, teaching is restricted to ⅕ (one section or the equivalent) with no other employment allowed
